   Add baking powder to the flour and mix it well. Beat in the eggs, having previously washed and dried them with napkins. Add butter, sugar, and pour in the cream.

   Punch the cottage cheese with sugar and cream with an immersion blender until smooth, pasty. If you don't have a blender, then rub the cottage cheese through a sieve before adding sugar and cream. In any case, the filling of mashed cottage cheese is much more tender and tastier, do not skip this step.

    Take a baking dish. It can be of any shape or of any material. I have a round, detachable, 20 cm in diameter. Line the mold with baking paper. I covered only the bottom, as I have a non-stick coating. With paper, it will be easier to get a pie. Remove one portion of dough from the freezer. Grate the dough on a coarse grater directly into the mold. It will be more convenient to do this by holding the dough with your hand in the bag.

    Bake the pie in the oven, preheated to 180 ° C (I have an electric oven, top-bottom mode), 30-40 minutes. The top should turn red. Remove the finished cake from the oven and cool completely. Then remove from the mold and cut into portions.
